Khartoum March 14.—Three or four
days with Theo Roosevelt and associa-
tion with the members of his party has
given me a distinct impression oi uis
state of mind.
He is constantly on his guard lest he
be trapped either by fool friends of pol
itical enemies into any hint or expres-
sion as to the state of public affairs in
the United States.
He is determined that no judgment
shall pass his lips until he shall have
been home long enough to know fully
and first hand all about the various
situations.
However it is needless to say that
he has not changed his conviction that
I the progressive policies of the nation
! must go forward in spite of any oppo-
sition.
So much for Roosevelt the political
leader. As to Roosevelt the man 1
have never seen a man so full of the
sheer joy of living as he is.
He is ns happy as a school boy and
fairly radiates bis abundant health and
spirits.
“I am homesick terribly homesick.”
Co). Roosevelt has said a dozen times
since I first met him at Renk. “I have
had the time of my life but I will be
mighty glad to get back home.
He was extremely anxious to see his
wife and daughter Ethel and as we
drew near to Khartoum he could hard-
ly control his impatience. But he says
he wants to see “the kids” at home
too.
The former president is delighted j
with the success of his trip so far as the j
scientific end is concerned. As a matter
of fact no such a collection of natural
history specimens ever left Africa.
While Col. Roosevelt will not talk of
his adventures he was anxious to show I
us his trophies and to introduce us to |
his husky African gun-bearers.
Between the hunter and these black
men of the jungle is the strongest mu-
tual regard. Each seems to feel that
the other knows his business.
The whole collection of trophies was l
in a barge towing alongside the gov- j
eminent river steamer Dal. and on this |
barge was also the quarters of the na-
tive retinue.
E. J. Cunninghame the guide who has
accompanied Col. Roosevelt ever since
he reached Africa is an ardent admirer
of the American.
“Tell me the most thrilling adven-
ture during the trip.” I urged.
“Well” said Cunninghame “it
happened pretty early in the game. It
was when the colonel killed his first
elephant. He had stalked his game and
brought him down with a well-aimed i
bullet when he discovered another huge j
elephant not six feet away coming at I
him at full charge.
“The rest of us stood frozen in our
tracks.
“It was a toss up whether or not
I your president would be trampled down
by the mad beast. But he thought
I quick and did the only thing possible.
He leaped behind a tree and firing
point blank staggered and stopped the
great creature with a ball. A second
bullet finished the animal and we all
{breathed again.’’
“Did Roosevelt realize that he had
I a close calif” I asked.
“Mv boy a man wouldn’t have to
be as smart as he is to understand
that. It was a narrow squeak and we
were a pretty quiet party the rest of
the day.”
Cunninghame says that “T. R.” is
a “steady consecutive shot much bet
ter than the average.” which in hunt-
er's jargon seems to mean pretty good.
AUTO SPEED CASES CONTINUED.
Because of the fact that the case of
Mrs. C. T. McKnight was the first taken
up consuming all the morning the au-
tomobile speeding cases listed iu the
county court were all continued. It is
likely that they will betaken up tomor-
row morning and the majority of them
are slated for dismissal.

TTJ 5 " UARTOUM March 14. —Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and<
pSs party arrived here at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The former
president of the United States received a most flattering re-
ception.
A cosmopolitan gathering the size of which was never equalled
in the history of Africa was waiting to receive the mighty hunter
and the din announcing his arrival must have been percolated to the
farthest corners of the jungle and the desert.
Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit were driven at once to their hotel
after the informal reception and there joined Mrs. Roosevelt and
Ethel.
The city has taken on a fete appearance and is filled with visitors'
from all quarters of the globe who came to welcome Roosevelt back
to civilization and witness the demonstration in is honor. No pro {
gram beyond general merrymaking is planned for tonight and to-
morrow a program will be mapped out to correspond with the wishes |
of Mr. Roosevelt.
At Khartoum is the telegraph the

evards churches banks schools a zoo

makes a modern city—strangely includ-
ed with Mohammeuan mosques bazars
; camel markets gum arable markets dll-
-1 ver markets and all the characteristics
1 of oriental Africa.
Robert Hichins has described the
people of the desert —the native girls
innocent of clothing save for the girdle
of fringed rhinoceros skin about their
waists descending to the Nile to fill
the graceful earthen ewers they carry
on their naked shoulders.
Let it be the province of a cartoonist
to depict the bronzed face of T. R.
when he sees one of these poetic water
carriers at Khartoum. For on her
shoulder as she ascends from the river
brim the Khartoum girl boars not the
(arthen jar of antiquity but —but —•
A Standard Oil can!
The earthern jar is made of sunbaked
Nile mnd and sand. Resides being
leaky it hursts every time it is dropped
and even the native girl will now and
then cast a glaneo over a bare shoulder
at some stalwart native boy.
t But an empty Standard Oil can costs
. but a few pence. It doesn't leak and the
J Soudanese girl can rubber at the fel
a lows all she wants and if the can drops
1 it only gets dented.

ground but it was overruled by Coun-1 ’
ty Judge Phil Shook.
Attorney Searcy asked that the case! 1

jurors had been summonsed by post-
card instead of by the person service
which the law demands. He quoted the
law as being that it was necessary for

tice personally on prospective jurors
and that the present panel had been
obtained illegally. He moved that the
ease be not tried until a legal jury was
obtained and that this could be done
at the next term of court.
Judge Shook held that the present «
jury had been summonsed in a legal
manner in that in addition to the post
card notice personal service had been |
had where it was possible. He over-1 .
ruled the motion for a continuance an I i
forced the case to trial. Attorney

HAVE MAINS OF
THE CITY BEEN
TAMPERED WITH?
That eouncetions have been secretly
made with the mains of the city sew-
erage system and that storm water and
water from artesian wells is being di-
verted into the sanitary sewers is the
belief of Mayor Callaghan and the city
engineer. This question developed dur-
ing an inspection last week of the out-
fall sewer farm and Mayor Callaghan
gave out a statement today that an in-
spection will be inaugurated at onee to
discover where the taps with the sewer
have been made.
The present sanitary system is re-
garded not sufficient to carry
great volume of water that is tipown
into the sewer mains and the officials
do not believe the numerous additions
that have been laid out and in which a
sewer system lias been constructed
would cause so tremendous n flow.
They are confident there are instances
where secret underground connections
have been made which permits storm
water to enter into the sanitary mains.
The officials have also received a re-
port that certain individuals for some
time have in some manner succeeded
in diverting the flow of water from ar-
tesian wells into the sewer system.
A rigid inspection will be conducted
bv the engineer’s department at once
aiid a report made to the executive
body. In the event it is found that
such is the ease steps wiU be taken to
prevent this practice and prosecutions
it is understood will follow.

PROBABILITY
OF A STRIKE
IS DENIED
Railroad Man Speaking With
Authority Says There Is no
Chance of a “Walk Out."
MEETING AGAIN TODAY
Letter of Firemen to Be Taken
Up—Carter Says Will Leave
Strike Order to Committee.
Associated Press.
Chicago 111.. March 14.—The prob-
ability of a great railroad strike wan
denied today by a prominent railroad
official who. in speaking tor the forty-
seven railroads involved in the fire-
men ’a wage controversy declared there
was absolutely no chance of a “walk-
out.”
“The railroad managers’ committee
will meet again today as usual” lie
said “and the firemen's letter willl
be taken under consideration. It is not
likely the railroads will change their
attitude. If it is a question of yielding
we might consider it. but to submit to
arbitration questions of authority and
seniority would be violating our con-
tract with the Brotherhood of Railway
Engineers. ”
W. S. Carter president of the Broth-
erhood of Firemen and Enginemen
would not say he would order the men
to strike if an unfavorable reply to
: their last letter should be received. He
said he would leave that to the com-
mittee.
“The railroad managers’ talk of vio-
lating their contract with the en-
gineers is all bosh.” said Carter.
“It i« a subterfuge on their part te
make the public believe the other or-
ganizations are to blame for the rail-
roads’ attitude in refusing to submit
the entire controversy to a board of
arbitration. We are not asking for
any privileges these railroads are not
now granting to the conductors and
trainmen.”
The letter spoken of was sent to W.
C. Nixon ehairman of the railroad gen-
eral managers’ committee and is as fol-
lows:
“Dear Sir: Your letter of this date
(March 13). wherein you state that
the managers' committee declines to
further consider matters in controversy
has been received and in reply our com-
mittee instructs me to say:
“If there is to be a great railway
strike the responsibility must and will
rest upon the managers’ committee.
That there may be no misunderstanding
concerning this responsibility our com-
mittee hereby proposes the submission
of all;matters in dispute to an adjust-
ment by arbitration.
“The’ public has been informed
through the press that matters in con-
troversy cannot be arbitrated because
they involve the authority of railway
officials and the discipline of em-
ployes.
“This statement our committee em-
phatically denies.
“The officials of many railways rep-
resented by the managers’ coromitteo
do not hesitate to confess rhe gross in-
justice |»crpetrated under present prac-
tices.
“Our committee directs me to re-
quest the managers’ committee through
you if this proposition to arbitrate is
not accepted byt he managers’ eommit-
not accepted by the managers’ eommit-
convenience. ”
